Audiomack in partnership with the Black Music Action Coalition has launched the ‘Black Music Executives Are The Future’ paid internship and mentorship program.
This program is aimed at developing the next generation of Black executives in the music industry and is powered by Culture Fusion Agency.
As part of the program, Audiomack and Black Music Action Coalition will select five (5) Black undergraduates—or graduates who earned degrees as recently as April 2021—to participate in three-month internships at Audiomack across several departments, including marketing, creative design, editorial and content strategy, content operations, and tech development.
Additionally, the five recipients will be assigned at least two distinguished music industry executives to serve as their mentors throughout the program. The list of award-winning executives includes:
- Amina Diop — SVP, Republic Records; Artist Manager
- Gordan Dillard — Artist Manager, Salxco: Doja Cat
- Damien Smith — Full Stop MGMT; Artist Manager: Offset, Anderson. Paak
- Tariq Cherif — Co-Founder/CEO, Rolling Loud
- Andrew McInnes — CEO, TMWRK; Artist Manager: Diplo, A-Trak
- Prophet — Co-Founder/Co-Chair of Black Music Action Coalition; Artist Manager
- Cortez Bryant — CEO Blueprint; Past Clients Include: Lil Nas X, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne
“It’s disheartening to see that, of the 70 major and independent music companies, only 4.2% of high-level executives are Black,” Audiomack VP of Marketing & Brand Strategy Jason Johnson said. “As leaders in this industry, we must commit to hiring, developing, and elevating Black talent to better reflect the communities that we serve. With this partnership with BMAC, our hope is to establish a strong pipeline of young, Black talent to enter the music industry and equip them with the resources to thrive.”
